Twenty-three sacrifice stove days.
On this day, Xia Xun's family should also prepare sacrifices, incense and candles, led by Xia Xun the whole family, arched on the stove prince, and pasted on both sides of the couplet of "God says good things, and the lower world keeps peace", and worships seriously.
Then, Xia Xun went out.
Today is the last group of servants of Dabao'en Temple to return to their hometowns, and the homes of these servants are the closest to the capital, so it is arranged at the end, Xia Xun has to watch and don't make any mistakes at this time.
There is already a New Year's festival atmosphere on the street, selling New Year's goods, buying New Year's goods, selling firecrackers, couplets and New Year's paintings, lively and joyful.
Some houses have already posted door gods, couplets and inverted blessing characters, and shops have hung strings of red lanterns, and banners reading "Jiang Taigong has no taboos here" are posted in a conspicuous place on the lintel, and people selling fried rice, stove sugar, and sugar gourds are shouting all over the street.
The soldiers and horses of the five cities subordinate to the Ministry of War, the commanders and commanders with the patrol soldiers and the patrol soldiers followed the imperial envoys of the city patrol everywhere with shouts and drinks, and they had to take care of everything from fights and brawls, petty theft, open defecation, and artillery battles next to firewood and stacks.
At this time, they are the busiest.
The streets were full of joy, and they were the only ones who stood with their eyebrows crossed.
Daming's leave is already less, the five cities of the Terracotta Division is even less, other yamen officials can take sick leave if they are sick, but the five cities of the Terracotta Division is not, if their officials are sick, they can't be on errands, they can only retire and take care of themselves, and they are not allowed to ask for sick leave, so as long as they don't want to go home to eat that little bit of money, they have to stand up for a little illness and disaster, so how good is the temper.
Xia Xun rode on a horse, and while walking, he watched the weather on the street.
In the seventh or eighth year of the Ming Dynasty, this is the first time that his wife has celebrated the holiday with his family peacefully, and the feeling in his heart is different from previous years, and there is also an inexplicable joy in his heart.
Suddenly, the front shouted and shouted, many people listened to the movement, all rushed over to see the excitement, Xia Xun reined in the horses, looked out, and saw a few wearing soap clothes, wearing a gauze hat to catch fast is coming from an alley, the first two in front of the two people with an iron ruler to drive the onlookers, in the middle of a catcher lazily behind his back, holding a thin iron chain in his hand, the iron chain is tied to a person's neck, like a sheep, you are swimming forward.
The prisoner was in his forties, with three locks of long beard and a clear face, but he could not see any image of a villain.
He was wearing Songjiang cotton's small clothes and trousers, his face was blue from the cold, and he was shivering, but he lowered his head, as if he was afraid of meeting an acquaintance, and he looked very pitiful.
Xia Xun was slightly curious, because ordinary people were arrested, they could lock people directly, like this, if they stripped off their outer robes and only wore small clothes, then there was only one possibility, this person was a court official, and the official uniform was the official uniform of the imperial court, wouldn't it be insulting to lock the prison chain Xia Xun glanced at the man unexpectedly, and then lifted the horse and left.
Later, someone was discussing: "Hey, isn't that Lord Wu guilty of something, how did he get arrested?"
"Which Kure-sama" "Ouch, you don't know the fattest yamen supervisor in our capital, Lord Wu Bi Wu in the Ministry of Officials, I also saw a lot of officials secretly sending things to his house last night.
Xia Xun rushed to Dabao'en Temple, and Huang Ligong, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, had already arrived.
The personnel adjustment of the imperial court is imminent, and the officials are like clockwork with full strength, and no one wants to make a mistake at this time.
With the help of Huang Ligong, an expert, Xia Xun can only sit here, drink tea, nourish his spirits, Huang Ligong ran before and after the things were almost done, come in and report, Xia Xun's messenger will be answered.
Xia Xun drank tea, was very bored, ran to the intact meditation rooms in Bao'en Temple, found the abbot old monk, and set up a dragon gate array with him.
I was listening to the old monk talk about the old story of him being a little novice here during the Yuan Dynasty to Shun, and ran in an old monk and said to the abbot: "Senior brother, there is an official surnamed Huang outside, looking for Lord Guogong." ” "The surname Huang" Xia Xun estimated how many points he felt, and smiled at the old abbot: "Master, borrow your meditation room to meet a guest." ” "Make it so that the prince sits slowly" The old abbot hurriedly stood up and retreated with his junior brother.
As soon as they went out, Huang Zhen twisted in as if he was twisting a big Yangge, and said happily: "Grandpa Guo, you asked the lower officials to look for it."
I went to the Guogong Mansion and said that the Guogong was in the Dabao'en Temple, and the lower officials went to the shed built by the Ministry of Industry to take a look, saying that you came to the temple, hehe" Xia Xun sat on the meditation bed and didn't come down, pointed to the opposite side, and said with a smile: "Sit, you are so anxious to find me, what's the matter?"
Huang Zhen sat down in a hurry across from him, took out a note from his sleeve, and said with a smile: "Guogong, look, the lower official has already written, do you think this is done?"
Xia Xun unfolded it and took a look, not to mention, Huang Zhen wrote it in a small block with a small hand, and then carefully read the content, Xia Xun raised his head and asked: "Where did you find out about these things here, are they true?"
"The officials of the state have never been ordered to go to the East China Sea to investigate, and the rumors are heard, and the rumors are five points true and three points false."
"Then what about the remaining two points?"
Huang Zhen pointed to his head: "This, you need to add it yourself." ” Xia Xun was speechless, thought about it, and said: "Okay, you just submit it like this, go back, I'll help you check the detailed information over there, and then provide it to you." ” Huang Zhen was overjoyed, thanked him again and again, and then asked with a salivating face: "Guogong, what about the lower officials" Xia Xun shook his head: "No wonder this Huang Zhen has never made a big difference in his life, he is so breathless, and he doesn't understand communication skills so much, no wonder the Metropolitan Procuratorate has changed the chief officer like a marquee, and no one can look up to him." ” For this person who doesn't know any skills, he really can't say subtle words, Xia Xun had no choice but to say helplessly: "Don't worry, I have already helped you inform the person who can speak in this matter, and you are indispensable in the imperial court." ” "Thank you Grandpa Guo, Guogong is really kind to Huang Zhen, Huang Zhen didn't follow the wrong person" Huang Zhen thanked him gratefully, and said diligently: "Guogong, have you heard that Wu Bi in the Ministry of Officials has just been arrested by the Criminal Department, hahaha" Xia Xun was stunned, and said strangely: "Didn't he say that he asked for bribes, and the hundred officials dared to be angry but didn't dare to say that which imperial envoy of your Imperial Procuratorate impeached?"
Huang Zhen smiled and said: "Guogong, this is not impeached by the people of our Imperial Court, Lord Chen, the imperial envoy of the left capital, has a great friendship with him, and he doesn't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, which imperial envoy is not good for him, and he is guilty of the Lord Dutang, hehe, this time, Wu Langzhong is guilty of public anger."
"Miss, Miss, Miss" Qiaoyun flew all the way into Ming'er's boudoir like a flower butterfly.
"Such a big girl, not stable at all, she can't lift her skirt, you know, what's the fluster?"
Ming'er reprimanded a few words angrily, and Qiaoyun wilted at that time: "Yes, Miss, the slave knows that she is wrong" Ming'er supported her chin boringly, played Go with herself, and asked lazily, "What's the matter?"
With this question, Qiaoyun came to his senses again, and he raised the door suddenly, and said excitedly: "Miss, do you remember the Wu Langzhong that Grandpa Dingguo said a few days ago?"
Ming'er picked up a chess piece, and while considering the position of the next piece, she said: "Oh, what Langzhong, who is sick" Qiao Yun hurriedly said: "Oh, it's not Lang Zhong who sees a doctor, it's Lang Zhong who examines the merits of the Ministry of Officials, and the queen is the son of Wu Langzhong in the photo of Miss Wu Ziming."
Ming'er pressed the chess piece with a "snap", raised her eyes, and asked lightly: "How" Qiao Yun clenched a pair of small fists and said excitedly: "Catch it, really catch it." ” "Hmm" Ming'er rolled her eyes, and became suspicious: "Because of what crime, who is impeached?"
Qiao Yun said: "Ha, he really has the ability, among a small test merit silang, this offended person is not small." ” "Who are they?"
Qiao Yun counted with his fingers: "King Kaifeng Zhou, Zheng Ci, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and the right servant of the Ministry of Officials, Lang Jianyi, and, oops, I secretly heard what Dingguo Gong told others, and I can't remember clearly."
When the emperor heard that he took the opportunity to take advantage of the merit examination to blackmail hundreds of officials, he was furious and wanted to cut off his head, and also took away his son's fame, and the whole family went to Yunnan Yuanmou" She patted her chest and said, "It's so dangerous, it's so dangerous, fortunately, Miss didn't really promise him home" Ming'er's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, she knew where Xu Jingchang found out about Wu Langzhong's greed for bribes, and his aunt's marriage, did he need to be a junior Ming'er was suspicious at the time, and when she asked, how could Xu Jingchang dare to hide it from her Now Ming'er Huiyun's eyes narrowed slightly: "King Zhou of Kaifeng, and Yang Xu are extremely friendly, I have heard Jingchang say more than once, Zhou Wangyuan sent him a special product from Kaifeng, a prince, so folded and handed over, what kind of friendship is Zheng Ci, the secretary of the Ministry of Friendship, Yang Xu fished out of the prison, otherwise, he would have been killed by Chen Ying and Ji Gang in the first place."
Others have too small official positions and just follow the trend.
A local vassal king and a scholar in the imperial court suddenly and unanimously fought against a small official Wailang in the officialdom, how could they act for no reason, they didn't do it because they were instigated by Yang Xu?"
Ming'er sat there in a daze with her chin propped up, and for a moment, she didn't know whether she wanted to cry or laugh.
In the Dabao'en Temple, Xia Xun knew that he was also shot while lying down, he was sighing at Huang Zhen: "Alas, these corrupt officials are greedy and greedy, don't they just want to buy an inexhaustible family property for their children and grandchildren, but as a result, they will harm their children and grandchildren."
The son of the Wu family was originally a person, but his fame was cut and he was demoted to a lowly status, but he will never be able to turn over.

When I was in Qingzhou, there was a Geng member who joined the Sun family, just because, why bother, why bother."
Xia Xun sighed in his mouth, but he was snickering in his heart.
He couldn't help but condemn himself: "It's so undeserved, how can my psychology be so dark No, I'm happy because a watery little cabbage didn't let the pig arch."
Yes, I have a heart of pity, everyone has it, haha" However, soon, when the fortunate Queen Xu chose the second official eunuch for her sister, and the family had just been happy for two days, and was imprisoned with lightning speed, Xia Xun couldn't laugh.
Ming'er was very angry, and the consequences were serious To be continued:
